A merchant that processes large volumes of buyer transactions wants to use a recognized standard to protect stored account details. Which standard best meets this need?
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) addresses the handling, storage, and transmission of payment data. By requiring structured controls for network segments and audits, PCI DSS applies to an environment with extensive card-based transactions. ISO 27002 outlines a wide variety of security guidelines not specialized for transaction data, HIPAA pertains to healthcare, and Sarbanes-Oxley focuses on corporate financial disclosures rather than these transaction needs.
